History

BMS has its humble origin in Nogendangar, Krishnagar, in January 1959 as Mary Immaculate Montessori School, founded by Bishop Louis L.R. Morrow. With the fatherly guidance, care, frequent visits, and blessings of Bishop Morrow and the persistent effort of his congregation of the Sisters of Mary Immaculate, the school kept growing as an English Medium Primary School. On 8 August 1968, Bishop Morrow established, the Young Women's Culture Centre (YWCC) at Bejikhali, Krishnagar, with a plan also for a new School at the site. In October 1968, the Mary Immaculate School at Nogendranagar was shifted to the new spacious building of YWCC, which offers opportunities both for parents and students to enhance their future.

On 15 November 1969, Bishop Morrow retired from Bishopric of Krishnagar after his splendid ministry to his beloved people for 30 long years. As a token of gratitude to the Bishop for his handsome contributions towards the welfare of the city and its people of all faiths, and to promote education and the uplift of women, girls and children, the YWCC was named Bishop Morrow Centre (BMC), at the request of the people, to perpetuate his revered memory. In 2002 it was renamed Bishop Morrow School.

On 14 October 2003, it obtained the Non- objection Certificate (NOC) from the Government of West Bengal, and on 27 March 2004 affiliation to the Council of New Delhi.
